Great location. Wonderful beach. Only thing to take into consideration is they have no restaurant. You can order a box breakfast, but the options are limited.

Best customer service!

The customer was excellent! Genuinely friendly and funny, great sense of humor. The room itself could have used some sprucing, found a random sock under the coffee table. But the pool area and the staff were outstanding!!

We have stayed at Sugar Beach Resort several times in the past and always enjoy the hotel for the clean rooms, incredible view, great pool/hot tub, and a tasty breakfast delivered to your door.

It was a pleasure to stay. Even in the midst of cold days it was a beautiful setting on the bay. Great accommodations all around.
Christa, 3-night trip

Love this place

This is my second stay at this charming place and I sprang for a second floor beach view room, which was totally worth it! My balcony had a lot of cobwebby/dead plant material clinging to the corners and the legs of the furniture, but it wasn’t bad enough for me to request a cleaning before I used it. The beach is well kept and the casting device in the tv was a nice surprise. Friendly staff, pretty rooms, breakfast came right on time every day. My greatest wish is that it could be a child-free hotel, but the kids there provided amusement as much as they caused annoyance. Overall it was peaceful for a place that seems to attract a lot of families.
Kathleen, 3-night trip
